Vending at ¡Globalquerque!

As a celebration of world music and culture, ¡Globalquerque! features a wide range of international performers as well as artists from New Mexico’s varied musical traditions. There will be free educational workshops, community outreach events, the best in world music (artists from five continents on three stages over the course of two days) and a Global Village featuring food and crafts from around the world for sale.

The Global Village will include craft and food vendors highlighting Albuquerque’s diverse local ethnic communities. Vendors will have a fantastic opportunity to sell to an estimated audience of over 6,000 participants during the free events and the evening ticketed events. Non-food vendors are expected to be open and staffed from 4 PM to 8 PM on Friday and 10:30 AM to 8 PM on Saturday. Food booths are expected to stay open until 10 PM. All booths are welcome to remain open until festival close.

¡Globalquerque! and the NHCC will be embarking on a major marketing campaign for the festival. Visit our sponsor page to see the various groups already involved in the event.

Act now to reserve your spot, as spaces are limited. Food booths are $450, and all other booths are $200. Vendor booths are curated. Official applications are sent after a pre-approval screening. Vendor fees are non-refundable. If you are interested in participating or have logistic questions please contact Tom Frouge at 505-771-3166 (Alternate contact: Neal Copperman at 505-232-9868).
